3rd position in the Ligue 1 table for Olympique Lyonnais so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed Rennes visits Groupama OL Academy Décines-Charpieu.

Insights:
  • Olympique Lyonnais have the most scored goals in the first half (31) in Ligue 1
  • Rennes have the most points from losing position (15) in Ligue 1

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Ligue 1 match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Olympique Marseille, so at least Olympique are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Olympique Lyonnais form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Groupama OL Academy Décines-Charpieu as Olympique Lyonnais have scored 28 goals to get 27 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 1 are 8-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Olympique Lyonnais shared the glory with Olympique Marseille in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. A strong away win before that one, visiting Brest and winning 3-2.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Olympique Lyonnais matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, two draws and one defeat (from five games).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Olympique as they have a new game in only three days, a Coupe de France match thankfully also at home. Sochaux are visiting.

The Olympique manager R. Garcia has got the team scoring with 28 from 13 home games in the league. Olympique have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Rennes form and stats

5 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Rennes playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season. It's a growing despair in Rennes as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Rennes might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Nice proved too strong as Rennes slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Roazhon Park. A 1-2 defeat away at Montpellier before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Rennes when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning one game.

The visiting Rennes have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 17 goals from 12 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (11 so far).

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Rennes - Olympique Lyonnais 2-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Olympique, three draws and four wins for Rennes. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
